The Atlanta, Ga, Defiance, an or,
gan of the colored race, has this
strong appeal for the nomination of
Robert 7, Lincoln for the presidency
next year:
There is not colored man in the
entire South but that would not only
vote, but would also be an enthusiast
tic worker for the Hon. Robert T.
Lincoln as the Republican nominee
for President.
What is necessary in a national
campaign is enthusiasm, and a heap
of it.. Well, Mr.. Lincoln'S honOred,
stainless name would touch deeply
the colored mans gratitude.
He knows who gave him back his
wife and children. and who, by the
Emancipation Proclamation wrote
the freedom of the colored race !;
United States Senator Ingalls,, of
Kansas, may declare suffrage to the
negro is signal failure" but if the
Republican party will only give us
Bob Lincoln as the Presidential NOM
inee, we will present somebody with
happy surprise, and make Cleve-
land wish negro suffrance was a fail
ure."

There are but three or four of our
summer residents left, and they will
likely remain until in November.
There has not been as much work
done here as we expected, yet there
has been some building and other
Improvements.
Miss Harris stable and carriage
house is completed and the tenant
house will be as soon as the plaster
ing is done. The stone work for her
large cottage is being pushed right on.
Mr.. Garthright's large wareroom
is almost done.
The foundation for Mr.. Bowman's
store will soon be ready to put the
building on.
Major Anderson is putting up quite
an addition to his cottage in which
he lives and also to the one he bought
of Mr.. Milford.
Mrs. Hornbrooke is having her four
lots enclosed with a substantial fence.
The Association has decided to
leave their work of opening new
streets until spring.
Three more little girls have been
added to our population of late. One
at G. M. Rathbun's, one at A. r.
Sperry's and one at j. A. Elbows.
We are quite anxious that the
School Board turn their attention
this way. as we haye a sufficient
number to make very respectable
school, and yet there is no suitable
house in which to teach. If the mat
ter was looked after by the proper
authorities 1 think the Park Asso-
citation would do liberal part to-
ward establishing good SHOOT here.

SwANToN, Md. Oct. Is, 1887.

oW ANIONs hD OCVs ACt 1901
Ed. REPUBLICAN THE resolu-
tons of the Democratic convention
in regard to Senate bill No. 81, are
very "thin," entirely too transparent
to deceive anybody who Is at all pos
ted in the matter. Said bill was
passed at the last session of the Leg
islature and sent to Governor Lloyd
for his signature, but was mysteri-
ously "lost," and the miners of West
ern Maryland have not forgotten the
matter, either, and it will take some
thing more than "taffy" in the form
of resolutions to make them forget
it. Suppose the bill was again passed
and Senator Jackson was Governor.
would it share a better fate? Very
doubtful. He does not think it wrong
to be member of the "MiIl Bosses
Union" for the protection of his in
terests, but for his employees to join
the "Knights of Labor" is quite an
other thing. He has never shown
himself the friend of labor, but al
ways its foe, and the Knights of
Labor will show him that they are
not to be trifed with. E. E. Jackson,
Esq, has opposed the knights of
Labor and now their turn has come,
and it will take something more than
resolutions" to get the members to
vote the Democratic State ticket.
No, my friends, the handwriting is
on the wall. The people of Mary
land are tired of A. P. German and
his "ring." They are tired of being
governed by the criminal classes of
Baltimore city, and on the Sth of
November, they will speak in no un.
certion sound. We expect to give
good account from old No. on cleo
ton day. We would like to have at
least two mass-meeIings in this dis
trict. Let every Republican in the
county work hard from now until
the closing of the polls on the 9Th of
NOvam boz, and we will have a grand
and complete victory in this county.
and ring rule and Gormanism will
meet its waterloo in the State.
